One last question Ruben.  When I had built some 64-bit libraries (GMP, MPFR, 
MPC) I had to pass an argument to configure that made it build either a 64-bit 
or 32-bit library.  I have been looking on the WIKI for this but have not found 
it.  Could you let me know what these are?

Hi,

Well, it seems I missed a step on the wiki:

 - open msys.bat and type: "sh /postinstall/pi.sh" (without quotes, mind the 
first slash) and answer the questions. That should point MSYS to your mingw-w64 
install.

Sorry about that, will see that it gets fixed.

If you need anything else, feel free to ask.

  Thanks for the assistance Ruben.  I downloaded MSYS-20100707.zip from the 
link on the WIKI page, extracted it and moved the directory "msys" to C:\msys.  
I then entered sh postinstall.sh into the MSYS command window and received the 
message "sh: postinstall.sh: No such file or directory".  Could you suggest 
what I could try next?

  Regards
  Chris Saunders

    I had the 64-bit version installed before but had to re-install my OS.  I 
downloaded the file mingw-w64-v1.0-snapshot-20100730.tar.bz2 but this doesn't 
seem to extract to the same directory structure I had before.  Also I wish to 
use MSYS.  Could someone give me instructions on what I need to do?

   First, I'll point you to our wiki, where I have written up on exactly what 
you want: 


  Mingw-w64 toolchain (I personally prefer sezero's builds)
  MSYS

  These outline what you need to know. Together with the naming scheme 
explanation (if you prefer not to use TDM-GCC), this will get you set up.

  MSYS will work perfectly fine with a x64 toolchain, as you said in your first 
message.

  I hope this helps,

  Ruben
